Exercising and deep breathing

Eat for the health of it.

Exercise daily and practice some real deep breathing because cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygenated environment. Learn to forgive and forget, relax and enjoy life. Stay away from Dioxen chemicals like, plastic containers in the microwave, plastic water bottles in the freezer and plastic wrap in the microwave, because they cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Stay away from using any type of plastic containers or plastic wrap, in the microwave or the freezer, use glass or corningware, pyrex or ceramic dishes to heat foods in the microwave. Paper really isn't good either because you don't know what is in the paper. Remember here awhile back that the fast food stores were using foam? They don't anymore, because of the toxins. Besides, look how much money you can save by reusing your glass dishes.

Personally though, I do not like using the microwave either because I honestly think that it kills the food value. I don't really know this for sure but I do not like the taste of nuked food anyway.

Cancer and the immune system

Eat for the health of it.

Chemotherapy has been the best way to treat cancer. Every person has cancer cells in their bodies but they do not show up until they have multiplied over and over. After a patient is treated for the cancer and they say they are cancer free only means that the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they are too small. Cancer cells occur several times in a persons lifetime. When a persons immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and stopped from multiplying and forming into tumors.

When a person is diagnosed with cancer, that indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. This could be from wrong eating habits and lifestyle and/or environmental.

If a person wants to avoid further clashes with cancer it is very important for them to change their lifestyle of eating habits and nutritional deficiencies and add supplements to strengthen their immune system.

Although they can destroy the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, it can cause cancer cells to mutate and become hard to destroy, therefore a person can have various side effects and die from infection and other complications.

I can't stress enough, how important a healthy diet is. I believe, seriously, that the chemicals in our food supply is a major cause of cancer and people should avoid it like the plague.

Irradiated foods

Eat for the health of it.

What are they thinking when they now want to irradiate our food? First they make additives out of chemicals and put them in our processed food supply, so that causes health problems and now they want to irradiate our all natural foods like meat, fruits and vegetables. These people are absolutely crazy. I think all of the people involved in this program should eat strictly irradiated foods for a year or two and see what happens to them before they put this crap on the market. And I think that we the consumers should be able to vote on whether we want to eat all this poison. I sure don't want it. I am having enough trouble with the chemicals they are putting in our food now.

They have done testing and they know this really does cause health problems; they know it makes the body more suseptible to cancer. They know it can lead to formation of carcinogens. It can spoil the flavor of the foods, irradiation kills beneficial microorganisms such as yeasts and molds that keeps botulism at bay, and the microoganism that creates the aroma that tells you the food has spoiled. So why bother? Just because a few people have gotten sick on poorly cleaned foods, but what they really need to do is clamp down on every slaughter house and make sure they are following all sanitary programs. And to make sure that everything is clean and sanitary to eat, just use some apple cider vinegar in some drinking water and wash them and rinse them off and walla!!! I always add a little vinegar to water when I wash the strawberries, because I don't know whether the people had clean hands that picked them. Irradiation does nothing o remove urine, pus, feces, vomit and tumors. This is the responsibility of the slaughter house and they should be held liable.

Laughter is Healthy: A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined the flashlight around, looking for valuables and when he picked up the CD player, a strange voice said, "Jesus is watching you." He froze for a short time and decided to continue. Just as he pulled on the stereo and started to disconnect it he heard,"Jesus is watching you." Freaked out he flashes his light around the room and his eyes caught a parrot in the corner. "Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot. "Yep," the parrot answered, "I'm just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed, "And who the heck are you?" "Moses," answered the parrot. "Moses?" the burglar laughed."What kind of people would name their parrot Moses?" The parrot answered, "The same kind of people that would name a Rotweiler Jesus."

Poisonous yeast spores

Eat for the health of it.

Whether you have heard this or not, I tink it is worth reading again and pass it on to whom ever you know. After eating pancakes for breakfast, a mother dropped her son off at school and shortly there after she received a call from him that he could not breathe. They school nurse called the rescue and they did save his life but he was near death. Evedently the pancake mix was outdated and the yeast in these mixes develope poisonous spores.( this can be any cake, cookie, brownie, bisquick and who knows what else.) Just be sure to throw away any outdated anything to be on the safe side. I am cleaning my cupboards out tomorrow.

I am doing just a few quick ones tonight, I have to get up early tomorrow morning and I need some sleep.

I have been bothered with toenail fungus and I have tried about everything and most of it works. But I will not take the medicine for it, that is bad stuff. I use equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and Listerine. Put it on those toes often and it will clear up and you should give it a dose every now and then there after. Another home remedy is good ole Vick's. Put it on your toes and wear socks to bed.

Mix olive oil and iodine to soothe your hemrhoids. Just place a teaspoon of olive oil in a small bowl and a few drops of iodine, use a cotton wad, soak it in the mixture and place it, you know where.

Do you have sore itchy eyes? I do all the time because I spend so much time on the computer, but I have tried another old remedy that seems to work well. Take a small bowl of warm water and add a teaspoon of sea salt; use a small clean cloth and place it in the salt water; lean over the sink and place the wetted cloth on your eyes and hold it there for a few minutes. You can repeat this a few times. It is very soothing.

A mixture of vanilla and water makes a great air freshener. Use the strength you feel necessary. I use about 1/3 vanilla to 2/3 water, in a spray bottle.

I may have mentioned this one before but I used Colloidal silver on the scars that were left after an allergic reaction that gave me hives after eating food with Aspartame in it. When they were real bad I would soak a small piece of cotton with the colloidal silver and tape it on the sore over night.

Benzene a hazardess carcinogen

Eat for the health of it.

Have you ever heard of Benzene? A lot of people have but there are a lot more that have not heard of this cancer causing agent. You may have heard of it when the soldiers drank the diet soda's that were left out in the hot weather in Iraq. Aspartame turns to a poisonous chemical, when heated. They apparently stored the soda where it was hot and when the soldiers drank it they became very ill.

Benzene is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It's vapor is poisonous if inhaled too long. It is used in industry in the production of polystyrene, rubber, nylon, dyes and detergents. Benzene is on the hazardous list. It is a carcinogen.

What will they come up with next?

They put High Fructose Corn Syrup in soda and that is a very dangerous, chemically altered syrup, believed to cause cancer of the pancreas. And they are putting it into everything, making it difficult to find food that does not contain HFCS. The best way to deal with this is to eat all natural foods. Try eating unprocessed foods.So many people are getting pancreatic cancer and Diabetes. Check the labels on foods you buy. If it contains HFCS, leave it on the shelf.

Also watch for bleaching agents in flour and sugar, it is best to buy unbleached flour and sugar. Most grocery stores are carrying these products now. If not, find a health food store in your area, they have all kinds of good healthy foods.

MSG is another chemical found in a lot of food, but I did find out the hard way that if it is not at least 5% of the product they do not have to list it. That is a bummer.

Always read labels and keep in mind that the labels with the least amount of ingredients are the best, and unaltered fresh foods are the best for you.

Living proof of poor diet and illnesses

Eat for the health of it.

You hear people making numerous comments about health foods opposed to eating anything and everything. Some people get away with eating just anything, but the outcome is never really known until later in life, it's pretty obvious that when a person lives to be a ripe old age and feels pretty good up to the end, if you ask what diet they were on, they are going to tell you that they ate pretty healthy.

I have living proof of someone that has had a poor diet and has had a lot of illnesses. My husband was a farmer and truck driver. He was on the road a lot and he lived on lunchmeat sandwiches and soda pop. He never wanted to take the time to stop at a restaurant, so he carried his lunch. I found out one time as he was telling friends that he was drinking 2-2 litre bottles of soda every day. When I found out about it I warned him of the dangers of drinking soda with Aspartame but he continued and soon he had developed cancer of the prostate. He did go to drinking regular soda but somewhere along the process they were using High Fructose Corn Syrup. Even though I warned him of the dangers of drinking so much soda and that he should drink water and fruit juices, but he didn't listen to me again. He was diagnosed with diabetes and about the same time he had to have two heart bypasses. Even after the bypass surgery, he continued his poor diet habits. About two years ago he was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus and stomach. They took out his entire esophagus and part of his stomach then they sewed his stomach to the part where they removed the esophagus. He has had many episodes of choking. He still has a terrible eating habit; does not want to eat properly and still drinks the soda. What do you do? I know I would not want to go through what he went through. Apparently he doesn't care.

I had symptoms of Fibromyalgia before I found out that I was allergic to all of these chemicals and when I stopped eating things with chemicals in it the pain soon went away.I feel so much better but I have to be careful what I eat. Allergies are nothing to fool with. I feel that I may be lucky that I am allergic to these chemicals so I don't eat them.

Laughter is healthy: A family from the hills were visiting the city and went into a mall for the first time in their lives. The father and son strolled around while the wife shopped. They were taking everything in, when all of a sudden they came upon these steel walls that would come apart and go back together.

The son asks,"Paw what's at?" Paw answers, "Dunno son. Ain't never seen anythin like that in my whole life. I ain't got no idea'r what it is."The boy and his father watched with amazement as a fat lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed the button. The walls opened and the lady rolled into the small room and the walls closed. They continued to watch as the doors opened again and a georgeous, voluptuous young blonde stepped out. Without taking his eyes off the blonde the father said quietly,"Son, go gitcha momma."

Different things to know

Eat for the health of it.

i wonder why they are always trying to get you to take drugs to get your cholesterol down below 200 but the truth is, you should really try to keep it just above 200. Keeping your cholesterol below 200 can give you more of a risk of having a stroke. I try to keep mine right around the 200 mark and to help keep it there I drink a special health drink, using a 64 ounce bottle of all natural white grape juice and a 64 ounce bottle of all natural apple juice and to that add a 1/2 cup of 'mother vinegar' or apple cider vinegar. Drink a small glass before meals or after meals, it has kept my cholesterol down.
================
These kids that have ADHD Attention Deficit Disorder are taking drugs that cause them to have hallucinations. Why not start to remove the chemicals from all of our food supply?
================
Vitamin D fights cancer, supports your heart and helps relieve chronic pain, helps maintain healthy lung function and Vitamin D is essential for bone health and may even protect the brain.
================
Everyone should be aware that there is no relation between eating eggs and high cholesterol, it seems they used powdered eggs to do their study. Just one more incident of processed food poisoning.
================
If you do not eat the right foods you can be hungry and crave for more within a short time. It surely makes the difference if you eat highly processed foods like cereal, especially sweetened, or instant oatmeal, which is sweetened.You really need fiber, like old-fashioned oatmeal. You realize that if you eat all processed foods your system doesn't have to do anything.
================
I like the low carb diet because you can eat a lot of food and it isn't processed plus you feel full, it is all natural and healthy for you. You should eat three meals a day and remember that there is no diet that does not have restrictions.
================
Obesity is one of the biggest health problems today, even with all of the artificial, no cal sweeteners that is supposed to help us lose weight but instead it just makes us crave more sweets. Some day I am hoping that they will realize that these artificial (chemical) sweeteners are not doing what they promise, and because they are processed with chemicals, they are not safe and should be taken off the market. They have an all natural, safe, non chemical sweetener, Stevia, and you can buy it in the liquid form, dry packets and bulk, at the health food store. I have used it for years without a problem. Honey is another all natural sweetener and is very good for you. It is not calorie free, you just have to control how much you use, that is the only way to lose weight and you will be eating healthy.

something bad happened to my blog

Eat for the health of it.

Sorry I lost my blog-I don't know what happened but it is 1:15 and I am going to bed. hope to get it on here tomorrow. NITE!!

Can foods in your kitchen be hazardous?

Eat for the health of it.

Now they are saying that sweetened foods and drinks may cause pancreatic cancer, because several people were tested with there daily eating habits and the ones that ate or added sugar to there food every day were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The people that added sugar to their food at least five times a day had even a greater chance of getting pancreatic cancer. And they also said that sugar feeds cancer.

I do not doubt the fact that people could get pancreatic cancer from the sugar on the market today because it is bleached, I would really like for them to do the same test only use unbleached sugar or raw sugar. I would like to know the outcome of that. I am assuming that they used bleached sugar or they would have said raw sugar or unbleached sugar. And they also mentioned about soda pop and soda pop was made with regular bleached sugar until they started to use HFCS. Oh how I hope they do a study on that stuff. And how about Aspartame, Aceselfame K, Splenda etc.?

So now they come out with this Splenda which was advertised with a bunch of lies about how great and safe it is, I wish they had experienced what I went through the first time I used it. I almost ended up in the hospital. I barely drank a half cup of my tea that contained the Splenda and I began to get severe chest pains and I thought I was having a hear6t attack. I took the time to look it up on the computer because I new this was the first time I had used it and I read where it was processed with chlorine. I am very allergic to chlorine and I decided to take the chance and just take an allergy pill and a few minutes later I was feeling a little better.

They know this is bad, they warn people to not inhale the fumes from chlorine and not to get it in your eyes, where did it say to eat it? How can they continouosly make all of these sweeteners, and knowingly add chemicals to them, chemicals have warning signs all over, DO NOT DRINK, DO NOT INHALE, DO NOT EAT, DO NOT GET IN YOUR EYES. What part of this don't they understand?

Splenda may have started out as sugar or sucrose but when they added the chlorine to it that poisoned it. Are these people so money hungry that they do not care for a life. I want them to do the studies using raw sugar or unbleached sugar. Have people that are using Splenda anyway and see if they get cancer in a few years, some probably already have it if they have been taking it as long as that has been out. I think that the same chlorination that do to sugar and they say it caused cancer, that same chlorination in Splenda will also cause cancer. I use only unbleached sugar, fructose and Stevia and I have been using it for years and no problems.

I don't think diabetes was a big deal until after the 1930's, and thats about when they started to using the bleaching agents, and that was about the same time that diabetes started showing up more. And then as they used more chemicals then they had more cancer. Do your math.

Laughter is healthy: A husband and wife came for counselling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was the wife went on with a passionate tirade listing every problem they had for the last 20 years. She went on and on, neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, feeling unloved etc. After listening to this for quite some time the therapist got up and went over and took the guys wife into his arms, carressing her kissing her passionately as her husband watched with raised eyebrows. The woman shut up and sat down as in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The husband thought a moment and replied. "Well, I can drop her off on Monday and Wednesday but Fidays I go fishing."

More news on Stevia

Eat for the health of it.

I have to tell more on Stevia, because I have been using it for years and it is the only non caloric sweetener that I can use without any after effects like rash, hives, chest pain and crusty painful skin irritations. Now they have been using Stevia for hundreds of years in Paraguay and Brazil, couldn't the FDA go there and talk to the people and find out if they have a large amount of cancer, and if they think it is from Stevia. I know the answer. Stevia does not have side effects. They want to put it in Coke and Pepsi, I sure hope they do. I know that if you get too much Stevia in your coffee or tea it can have a bit of an after taste but I have never noticed it to be bitter. Just like if you put too much sugar or any other sweetener in your coffee or tea it's sickening. I really prefer the liquid Stevia because you can regulate it more, by putting in 3 or 4 drops then taste it and once you have it like you want it remember to just put that amount in and I feel that they could do the same thing with Coke and Pepsi.

Now they say that Pepsi has a sweetener they are using called PureVia, and Coke has Truvia which is sweetened with Rebaudioside A (which is the sweetening component of Stevia.) But that only makes up 95% of the sweetener in the sodas and they have not said what the other 5% is (Like I said before that if it is not at least 5% of the product, they don't have to list it) That's not right. We, the consumer should know what we are eating at 100% of the product all the time.

Brazilian researchers added Stevioside (another component of Stevia) to the drinking water of lab rats for 2 years, tumors did not increase.

They are always using rats and mice as a testing device but are our bodies the same as rats and mice. And if you give rats and mice something that is sweet aren't they going to eat or drink that,instead of other foods? It sounds like they are given a choice which they like the best or maybe they aren't really given a choice. Whether it is rats, mice or humans, if you give them only one thing to eat, they are not going to develope properly. You know there are certain things that you cannot feed to your pets that you eat, because it can make them sick.

I cannot see where the argument is when it comes to Stevia, because it is all natural, repeat ALL NATURAL. What part of this don't they understand? The only problem they are having with this is that, they want to add a chemical to it so they have control and they get their cut out of it. They know if they start using Stevia alone to sweeten foods and drinks to make them safe for all of us, there is big bucks and they want a part of it. I want to see a label on sodas that says, Sweetened with Stevia, the all natural sweetener. I feel that Stevia is safe and I have been using it for years now with no side effects, where as the other artificial sweeteners have all caused me problems. I cannot eat anything that is a chemical or has a chemical in it.

Laughter is healthy: Two elderly people were conversing at the dinner table and they seemed to be getting along fine. The gentleman asked the lady,"Will you marry me?"
She thought for a second or two and replied,"Yes, I will."
After a while they went to their respective rooms for the night. Early the next morning the man called the lady and asked, "When I asked you to marry me, did you say yes or no?"
He was delighted when she answered, "Why I said, yes, yes I will and I meant it with all my heart." Then continued with, "I am so glad you called because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

Stevia is safe

Eat for the health of it.

For years and years and years, Stevia has been used as a sweetener to sweeten drinks and food. It is extracted from a plant that grows wild in Paraguay and Brazil. Although several companies have told the FDA that Stevia is GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)They will not approve of it.( If an ingredient is reconized as safe, the FDA will only allow it to be sold as a dietary supplement. Now they know that Stevia has been used for years in other countries and has been proven to be safe but they don't want it to be used to sweeten sodas and other foods but they will allow Acelfame K, a cancer risk. Saccharin (Sweet and Low, in animal studies it has caused cancer of the urinary bladder, uterus, ovaries, skin, blood vessels and other organs. Sucralose (Splenda), they say it appears to be safe but how can that be when it is made by chlorinating sugar molecules? I am very allergic to Clorine, I break out with hives and rash and I also have severe chest pain from it, and people should be aware of this, that sometimes when they are having chest pains and they cannot find anything wrong then think about what you ate recently. And what does it do to your system? I know city water is chlorinated, I know it has to be to clean that dirty stuff up so you can drink it. They clean it up and get rid of the chemicals but they turn around and put the chemicals right back in the pipes to kill bacteria and I understand that they have to do that, but they should educate people to put a filter on their water systems so they do not drink the Chlorine.

Now the government is allowing off brands of Stevia and they will probably get it through, but when I wrote and asked if Truvia had Chemicals in it, they did not give me an answer, so that was my answer. I am sure they have chemicals in it. If the FDA approves it there will be some chemicals in it because that is the only way they can have the say because all natural foods do not have to be approved by the government. And remember if the product has a chemical in it and it is not at least 5% of the product, they do not have to list it. The other new sweeteners you have to watch out for are: PureVia and Sweetleaf. They are planning on adding Stevia to coke and Pepsi products, but I really wonder if it will be pure all natural Stevia or if they add chemicals to it or process it so it will be a chemical so they can control it. Why would they change the name of it if they did not change the substance? I am a good source of detecting whether a food contains a chemical, because I break out from all of them. It is not fun to have this allergy to chemicals because it limits me what I can eat and I believe that these chamicals cause cancer.

Laughter is healthy: Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up the grill and cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba's neighbors were Cathilic and they couldn't eat meat on Friday.

The aroma from the grilled steak really bothered the neighborhood. The priest was called in and he suggested that Bubba become a Catholic and he agreed. After several classes , Bubba attended Mass. When he was baptized the priest poured the water over him while saying,"You were born baptist and raised Baptist but you are now Catholic." Bubbas neighbors were relieved until Friday night came and the same aroma came from Bubbas back yard. The priest was called and as he entered the back yard, there stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grill and chanted, "you was born a deer, you was raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."

easy on the antibiotics

Eat for the health of it.

Although it is necessary to have an antibiotic now and then, a person should give it a bit of consideration on whether they really need it. In other words, don't run to the doctor for every sniffle or take antibiotics for every little sore throat. Don't be afraid to ask the doctor if you really need that antibiotic. If you take antibiotics too often, you may rid your body of good bacteria, which is one of our strongest defenses against infection. We want to good baccteria through our entire body, to fight off the bad.

You may remember somwhere in your life when you knew kids that were poor and they never got sick, possibly they couldn't afford to go to the doctor and their immune system got stronger. Maybe that was a blessing in disguise. Antibiotics do not do very much for upper respiratory infections like colds, flu, bronchitis or sinus infections. We need to recognize whether we need antibiotics.

I have had some problems with sinus infections and I found out if I use Colloidal silver regularly, I do pretty well with that.I also have problems with one ear, because of the sinus problem, so I use Colloidal silver drops in my ears too.

I discovered the use of Colloidal silver a few years ago when I had a tiny infection type thing on my lower eye lid. It would get all crusty and I would use very warm water and a cloth and soak it until it fell off but within a short time it came back. I went to the doctor and after looking at it he told me that I would have to have that surgically removed. With all the chemicals that I am allergic to and that being that close to my eye I just decided that I would try the Colloidal silver. I soaked a gauze in the Colloidal silver and held it to my closed eyelid and it came off and I would soak the eye lid several times a day like that and it went away. It's been a few years and it has never come back but I also wash my eyelids now and then with the Colloidal silver. If it hadn't shown signs of healing, I would have gone to see a surgeon but I feel if you can use an all natural way of healing something, why not? Colloidal silver is good for a lot of things. I am not knocking doctors or saying you shouldn't go to them but when something can be taken care of naturally you should try that first, leaving the doctor for really sick people.

Just like healing a fungus toenail, I had a cousin who had a fungus toenail, and they were telling at her funeral that she was on some medication for it and it killed her liver and she ended up having two liver transplants but ended up dying anyway. What is sad is that she could have used Vicks on her toenail and it would have gotten rid of it. If you have a bad looking nail from the fungus you can put Vicks on it and wrap your toe and they say the nail will come off and you will grow a new nail. Mine wasn't that bad so I just use the Vicks and wear socks to keep it from getting all over. Vicks can also be used to soften your feet. And some people use it on their feet when they have a cold, I am not sure why, I seldom have a cold but if I do I will try it and see what happens.

You guessed it I really believe in trying the all natural way first and if all else fails I go to the doctor.

Laughter is healthy: Catholic shampoo: While shopping in a food market, two nuns happened to pass by the beer, wine and liquor section. One asked the other if she liked beer. The second one answered that she did indeed but was uncomfortable about buying it. The other one said she would handle it. They picked up the six pack and headed for the checkout. The cashier had a surprised look so the nun said, "we wash our hair with beer," and without blinking an eye the cashier reached around the counter and picked up a bag of pretzel sticks and stuck them in the bag with the beer. The cashier winked and said, "The curlers are on me."

Don't hurry for this shot

Eat for the health of it.

Attention parents, Don't hurry your daughters to get this shot for gardasil. The FDA has received over 9,700 adverse event reports. And close to 600 reports of young women that suffered severe reactions, including seizures, convulsions, and death. Tell your daughters and other young women about these reasons not to get the shot, HPV is easily detected by an annual PAP screening. Along with the PAP screening, add a HPV test. HPV does not always cause cervical cancer and the full dangers of this vaccine will not be known for years. They are playing Russian Roulette with our young women.

The only gurantee is that the drug companies will make mega bucks and it will put many women in danger.

Sugar or sugar substitute

Eat for the health of it.

Are you using one of the sugar substitutes? I know I could lose some pounds but even if I could use a sugar substitute like Aspartame,you aren't going to lose weight, all that does is make you crave more, so you are going to snack to satisfy your cravings. So all you are doing is increasing your appetite, your waistline and your medical bills. And you may even have one or more of the side effects from Aspartame, if you are still using it. Aspartame can cause headaches, memory loss, seizures,vision loss, coma and cancer And it appears to mimic the symptoms of fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, ADD, Alzheimers, chronic fatigue, and Depression.

There is a bleaching agent in white sugar anyway so who needs that? I would suggest to try either the raw sugar, or any unbleached sugar, but if you are watching your weight, then try Stevia. It comes in small packages or liquid form in a bottle with a dropper, which is all you need in a cup of tea is a few drops. It is very sweet but if you learn to adjust to how many drops will be sweet enough for your tea or coffee, it's worth the try. I am very allergic to the artificial sweeteners so I have to use something all natural and I have been using Stevia for years without any side effects from it.

I know it's hard to know who to believe, but I would go with someone who has been there and done that. I have found out the hard way over the years that I am allergic to all of these terrible chemicals they are putting in our foods. Sometimes I think they are trying to kill us off. I can not see why anyone would even think of adding some chemical to anything we stick in our mouths. I don't appreciate having rashes, sores and itching, hives and other pains and illnesses from these chemicals. But in some ways it may be helpful to me because I don't eat anything with that poison in it and hopefully I will be healthier from that.

Laughter is healthy: Morris, an 82 year old man went to see the doctor for a checkup. A few days later he meets morris on the street with a geargeous young woman and the doctor said, " you're doing great aren't you Morris?"

"Just doing what you said doc,get a hot mama and be cheerful."
To which the doctor responded, "I didn't say that Morris, I said,you have a heart murmur so be caeful."

Another bad consumer product

Eat for the health of it.

You have probably heard about (BPA) bisphenol A, It's an ingredient in making plastic containers like water bottles, baby bottles and pacifiers, plastic knives, forks and spoons, plastic bowls etc. In animal studies, it shows that BPA is unhealthy, prompting reproductive and hormone-related problems. And that was in using mice. But further studies have shown that high urinary BPA concentrations may be linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and abnormal amounts of liver enzymes and more than 90% of Americans have detected levels of BPA in their urine.

It is said that the FDA does not want to do anything about BPA because there is too much money involved. How do they put a price tag on our health? I guess it's all up to us, just spread the word that BPA is really bad for you. Stay clear of BPA by avoiding any liquids or foods that are stored in these type plastic bottles and containers. And the processed foods that are stored in these containers may even be worse than the BPA itself.

Just a health tip:

When grilling, marinate the meat to be grilled for 1 hour before grilling.

It is recommended for older adults to take a class in Tai Chi. It is an ancient Chinese martial art that uses a series of poses, gentle stretching, flowing motions to achieve balance.

If you want to get your Omega 3 by eating fish you will be better off eating farmed trout, farmed Atlantic salmon, and Coho. The fish with the least amount of Omega-3 is: Tuna, red snapper and corvina.

Laughter is Healthy: A lawyer boarded a plane in Anchorage Alaska with several pounds of frozen crab, he sees a blonde stewardess and cautions her to be sure she puts the crab in the freezer so they wouldn't thaw out. She assured him that she would do that. He again asked her if she put the crab in the freezer. Annoyed with him she assured him again that his crabs were safe. Just before landing in Toledo, Ohio the stewardess announced over the PA sytem, "Would the man that gave me the crabs, please raise your hand. Noone raised their hand and noone picked up the crab either.

Just some info

Eat for the health of it.

I know I have talked before of how important Vitamin D is. I know a lot of people are so afraid to go out in the sun that it is pathetic. Don't let those old poo-poo's about being in the sun is bad for you because the best way you can get vitamin D is from the sunshine. Get out in it. Sunshine can actually lower your risk of breaking your hip and other bones. If you are really afraid of the sun, then you really should take a supplement. If you are over 65 you should take at least 600 IU of vitamin D per day. Keep in mind the sun is free and all you have to do is take a stroll out there in that wonderful sunshine. I am not selling vitamins.

I like fresh fruit juices, but when you peel the fruit you lose a lot of natural compounds. Once you start to process the fruit it loses a lot of the nourishment and enzymes that are in the fruit, apposed to, if you would eat the whole thing. It's best if you can get fresh fruits and eat what is in season, but it isn't always possible unless you live in a warm climate year around.

Did you know that red meat, like beef and pork, and processed meats like, bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausage and deli meats can cause Cancer, heart disease and diabetes?
What scares me mostly are the children that are fed these lunch meats and hot dogs every day. I wonder if any parents ever go to a day care or even the school to see what their children are eating.

There are just too many chemicals that are added to our food supply and it doesn't seem like anything is being done about it. If even fifty percent of the people would break out from these chemicals like I do they would probably do something about it, only because of the loss of sales. I buy very little processed foods, because I am allergic to the chemicals. I wish more people would just stop buying all these chemical laden foods then maybe they would take them off the market. People apparently do not know that these foods with chemicals in them can cause all kinds of problems even though you do not have allergic reactions.

Laughter is healthy: The Tiny Cabin: A social worker from the City in Massachusettes recently transferred to the mountains of North Carolina and was on the first tour of her new territory when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life.

Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door, "Anyone home?" she asked.

"Yep," came a kids voice through the door.

"Is your father there?" she asked.

"Pa?" Nope, he left afore Ma came in."

"Well, is your mother there?" persisted the social worker.

"Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here," the kid answered.

"But, protested the social worker, "are you never together as a family?"

"Sure, but not here," said the kid through the door. "This is the outhouse!"

Suggestions on what food to eat

Eat for the health of it.

If you eat the wrong foods they can leave you still craving more, that's why it makes a difference if you eat highly processed foods, like cereal, or instant oatmeal, especially the sweetened kind, that is all processed and you don't have to chew it so your teeth do not get strengthened and it's all digested for you so your digestive system doesn't get a workout either. Your teeth and gums need to chew to keep them healthy. Your digestive system needs to process the foods and that helps to keep the digestive system healthy and in good condition. If everything is processed then it goes straight through so you will still feel hungry, therefore you keep eating and the unprocessed foods leave a trail of mush to be absorbed by the digestive system that causes you to gain weight, and your body turns to mush, like the junk food you feed it. You need fiber, like old fashioned oatmeal. Your body has to work to digest it, so you are feeling full and building muscle tone, because your system had to work to digest it.

I really like the low carb diet the best because you can eat a lot of food and you feel full after you eat and it takes time to digest it and you lose weight on it. It's a little difficult when you first start it because you have to train yourself that you can only eat the low carb foods. It is best if you buy a low carb diet book like doctor Adkins and make a list of the foods that contain the least amount of carbs and carry it with you for awhile until you get used to it.

Keep in mind that flour and sugar are the biggest no-no's. Lucky for you they do have Stevia which is a safe all natural sweetener. I have used it for years with no side effects. Also a very new one (Excella) which I have used a little and so far I have not had a reaction from it. It's supposed to be all natural and it really looks and tastes like real sugar and you can use it for baking. I have only used it a few times so if anyone out there has any knowledge of it please let me know. I have not seen it in the stores but I have on line. EXCELLA

You can buy a lot of all natural products like peanut butter and if you want it more moist, use olive oil and if you want it sweetened use the Stevia or the Excella. You can put the peanut butter on celery or mix it with cream cheese and use it as a veggie or fruit dip. I know you have to watch it because there are a lot of foods out there that say they are all natural but they contain MSG and other chemicals, so do read the labels. They should not allow an all natural add on things that are not.

One thing that is important on the low carb diet is to take fish oil. You can always ask if a certain fish oil has an after taste and always take it just before you eat so you will have a less chance of the after taste.

It will take a couple of weeks to get used to this diet but when the pounds start to fall off it will give you an incentive to keep it up. I highly recommend it. Just remember the good carbs are the fruits and vegetables but the fruits are really limited to one or two a day. Veggies are more lenient, they don't have the sugar that fruit has. Bad Carbs are all processed foods, white flour and white sugar which pretty well cuts out all breads, cereals and pasta. If you order a hamburger, just throw away the bun, as simple as that.

I highly recommend this diet; it's healthy, it's all natural foods and once you get used to it, it's easy. I don't recommend a low fat diet because it more than likely will allow a lot of foods that are not natural and they may be processed.

Laughter is healthy:A man feared his wife was going deaf and may need a hearing aid so he calls the doctor to find out what to do, the doctor gave him some simple tests to find out. "Stay about 40 feet away from your wife, ask her a question in a normal tone of voice and listen to see if she answers, if no answer, close in 10 feet at a time, asking the same question, if she does not answer at approxamately 10 feet away, then you know she will need a hearing aid."
That night he tried at 40 feet and nothing, he tried at 30 feet and nothing. When he got 20 and 10 and still nothing he got right behind her and asked for the fifth time. "Marge, what are we having for supper?" Marge answers, "Ralph for the fifth time we are having chicken for supper, and I think you need a hearring aid."

Powerful immune and growth factors

Eat for the health of it.

Years ago immunologists thought they had a theory over the germs and illnesses. They thought they could wipe out all diseases with their powerful drugs. Maybe they overdosed on the drugs or antibiotics to the point where they have to make them more powerful or they have created drug-resistant strains of bacteria and germs.

Maybe it's just our diets that have fallen prey to autoimmune illnesses like Arthritis, Asthma, IBS, Crohn's Disease, Fibromyalgia and Multple Sclerosis.

You have no control over new germs but you can control what you eat. If you choose all natural foods, you can be assured that you are going to feel better then if you eat all processed non nutritional foods.

If a baby has a good start in life, they are more apt to eat healthy as they grow. The most helpful defense for the immune system is for the new born baby to receive a non-milk fluid produced by the mother's mammory glands during the first few hours after birth.

This special fluid, Colostrum, contains powerful immune and growth factors, which helps the newborn baby to survive and be healthy. It's a real shame that the newborn babies now, seldom receive that special fluid, since so many mothers work and choose not to nurse their babies. I wish the doctors would encourage the new mothers to nurse for at least the first six weeks, so the babies could receive this special fluid and to give the baby a good start in life, then they could quit nursing so they could return to their jobs.

Maybe if the doctors would explain how important this Colostrum is, the mothers may want to nurse for a few weeks. I remember as a child that babies would not get sick if they were nursed, they were actually immune to colds and other contagious diseases. I'm not sure if my mother was aware that this first fluid was so important but we were all lucky that we got that special fluid.

Laughter is healthy: I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
Some people are alive only because it is illegal to kill them.

addition and aspartame

Eat for the health of it.

I have to tell you more about Aspartame and I am hoping that you listen to what I tell you. You probably wonder why I am concerned; not only because I am so allergic to this horrible additive chemical or drug, and it is getting into the systems of babies and children and they don't have any idea about how horrible this drug is. How can they know when the parents don't know. If I hadn't had an allergic reaction to it, I wouldn't have known either. As I read up on it and discovered that it is really bad for you, I decided to try to get to people and if we stop buying products with that in it, they will take it off the market.

If you use Aspartame all the time, you may have to go through detox or withdrawal when you try to stop.

The methanol in Aspartame (10%) converts to formaldehyde and formic acid in the body which affects the retina of the eye and destroys the optic nerve. You can go blind. Sometimes vision returns after you stop using it, but not always.

Phenylalanine in Aspartame depletes seratonin. Low seratonin can trigger manic depression, mood swings, rage etc. Do you see this as a problem? Could this have anything to do with the increase in family murders? I say this every time I hear of someone being violent, (put some more chemicals in our food and even more people will be going crazy)and you will find even more of this kind of action.

Doctors do not recognize this and they continue to medicate the patient with antidepressants and when they use Aspartame it interacts with the antidepressant and other drugs. Why can't they see this problem? All doctors and druggists should be up on this.

Aspartame triggers irregular hearbeat.

Sugar free gum has Aspartame in it and when you chew it the small molecules goes through the mucous membrain in the mouth.We're just guinnea pigs being used to test their manufactured drugs and chemicals. They know that Aspartame causes brain tumors, can abort an unborn child and babies can be born with birth defects if the mother uses Aspartame during pregnancy.

The only good use I have for Aspartame is to take one of those small packages and sprinkle it around where you find ants, they will eat it and they die.

A question you may want to ask

Eat for the health of it.

What is Transient global amnesia? TGA, is when a person has a sudden memory loss, noticed by a witness, but can remember their name and follow simple directions, recognizes familiar things. Lasting no more than 24 hours, no evidenc of seizures, no evidence of epilepsy or head injury. The patient may have a headache, nausia and vomiting,dizziness, chills, fear, emotional,racing heart beat, etc. If you have migraines your risk of having TGA are higher. As of now there are no drug treatment for TGA.
If you see anyone who suddenly becomes disoriented, call for help immediately. they should be taken to a hospital for an EEG, Electroencephelogram, the test records electrical activity in the brain. A CT scan may also be helpful. When the memory returns, the patient may fear reoccurance and need counseling.

For those of you who have been sfraid to eat eggs, fear no more, their is no relation between eating eggs and high cholesterol. Come to find out, the study that was done, they used powdered eggs. Now who would have guessed that?

====================

They keep telling us that we are all getting fat,and that Aspartame is making us fat instead of helping us lose weight. Another weight gainer is this HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in case you don't know, it also makes you gain weight, but does anyone ever try to do anything about it? My word, what do they have to do, wait until everyone has to be rolled down the street before they put a stop to these horrible products? And this has another dark side to it they both have terrible side effects. The allergic reactions are bad enough without the weight gain. And then when they put it in all types of food, how many babies are ingesting this stuff? Until we get through to someone that cares, just try to eat all natural foods.

I don't know if anyone else saw this add but I could not believe that anyone would take this drug. The medication is Ambien CR. The question was: What information should I know about Ambien CR?
After taking Ambien CR, you may get out of bed and do an activity that you do not remember. Even more risky is if you drink or take other medicines with Ambien CR.
Reported activities: (sleep driving) a car, making and eating food, talk on the phone, having sex and sleep-walking. And you do not remember doing these things. Who knows, maybe even worse then those.
Ambien CR is prescribed for insomnia, the serious side effects are: abnormal thoughts and behavior, confusion, hallucinations, memory loss, severe allergic reactions, like swelling of the tongue or throat, headaches, sleepiness and dizziness. I wouldn't take that stuff if they gave it to me. The ingredients alone scares me. I am sure I would have an allergic reaction to it.
I wonder if anyone with a sleep disorder ever thinks of drinking a glass of warm milk, before they go to bed. Maybe even invest in a bed that has a massage in it.

Helpful and healthy hints for the grill. Most people like to grill out and it's okay if you don't cremate your food. Another help is to marinate averything for at least a few minutes before grilling. Myself I am against microwaving(nuke) but if it doesn't worry you any, it helps to 'nuke' it for a couple of minutes before grilling it. Try not to char (burn) it. The burning causes heterocyclic amines (HCAs)which is bad for you because if not digested properly and you eat a lot that way, it can cause cancer. Also eating too much red meat can be bad for you. Try to stick with fish, chicken, turkey and eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, that always helps.

The Graviola tree has born some real promises treating cancer, protects your immune system and makes you stronger and healthier. It seems they have discovered that the bark, roots, fruit and fruit seeds and leaves have been used by medicine men for years. Wouldn't that be something if a simple tree would bare the treatment for cancer and build up your immune system?

Did you ever hear that vitamin D, that you get from sunshine can help strengthen muscles and bones, which helps to keep you from falling by improving your balance and coordination?

To get rid of age spots, make a paste of powdered vitamin C and a little water, put some of the paste on the age spots on your hands and arms for two weeks. It has helped rid my arms of scars left by the hives I got after consuming Aspartame. I also feel that the sun helped too. The sun really has a healing process. I was happy with that.

For pain and stiffness try using extra virgin olive oil. Rub it on 2 to 3 times a day.

You should take an Omega 3 capsul every day. I take one capsul a day to keep things moving.

Want to know how to remove a tick? Use a cotton wad soaked with some liquid soap; place it on the spot where the tick is, for 10 to 15 seconds and it will attach itself to the cotton wad. WALLA!!

Did you know that you can lower your cholesterol by eating an onion a day?

I have lowered my cholesterol by drinking,a "Healthy Drink" found in my all natural cookbook. Just take a 64 ounce bottle of 100% all natural apple juice and a 64 ounce bottle of 100% all natural white grape juice and a 1/2 cup mother vinegar or apple cider vinegar (not white vinegar). Mix together and store back in the juice bottles and refrigerate. Drink 1/4 cup before or after meals or 1/2 glass during the day for a thirst quencher. It also settles your stomach. This works for me. I also eat radishes for the enzymes I need for my stomach.

You may have read that breast cancer servivors risk the reoccurance of their disease if they take a certain anti-depressant while taking Tamoxifen- the same drug that should keep them from getting breast cancer. You also may be taking an anti-depressant for hot flashes, because hormone replacements are believed not to be safe after breast cancer. Be sure to ask your doctor if you are taking any of these drugs like Prozac-Paxil or Zoloft, because they may wipe out the benefit of the Tamoxifen. Ask about taking Celexa or Lexapro. And now they are saying that lung cancer is more likely to be fatal in women who are taking Estrogen or Progestin. Another question for your doctor. I thought they always tested drugs for ten years before prescribing them to a lot of people, I don't know who they test them on but it seems about ten years after they put them out there they are telling the bad side effects. I think that's too late by then.

This will be pretty hard to do when they are using High Fructose Corn Syrup in all the foods that kids like to eat. HFCS is very high in calorie. It's in bread, cookies, catsup, candy, some cereals, sodas, fruit juices, just to name a few. I am very allergic to HFCS so I read labels all the time and it is difficult to find foods that don't have it in. I have a very painful skin reaction to it, but if these researchers think that kids are fat because of food allergies, does that mean an allergic reaction can also be fattening? They may be addicted to the chemical in the food. Basically, I think that these chemical additives are more of an addicting item or it makes you crave foods or foods that have that chemical in it. Naturally you will get fat if you eat more and more of this type of food.

Using certain people that I know as an example, when they drink soda, they seem to have to have it now, they have to stop and get it, some have to carry it with them, some even have to have their soda when they get up in the morning. I call that an addiction. I wish I could convince all manufacturers of food products to take every chemical out of our food supply and use only all natural. That's the only way to do it. Stevia is an all natural sweetener, why can't they use Stevia to sweeten diet foods and drinks?
=====================
Did you know that you should use a mouthwash that does not contain alchohol? Mouthwash that contains alchohol has a greater potential to cause oral cancer. A mouthwash that is very good and you can make it yourself is: Mix one ounce of 35% food-grade hydrogen Peroxide with 11 ounces of water. If you prefer a flavor, just add a few drops of liquid chlorophyll. CAUTION: Do not allow undiluted hydrogen peroxide to touch your skin while mixing.
=====================
You may ask why you should ask your doctor about vitamins, nutrition and supplements. Some doctors may poopoo vitamins etc. but I feel they are realizing that the food we eat is not always the most nutritious and they may encourage supplements. I know my doctor always asks for a list of medications that my husband is on and if he takes vitamins and has never said he shouldn't take them.

Are gamma rays really necessary

Eat for the health of it.

I am very concerned about genetically altered foods, and now what is going on with these people that have been adding chemicals to our food supply and now they want to radiate it too? I am already allergic to all the chemicals that they added to our food. I cannot believe they are talking of radiating our food with gamma rays, which will turn all of our food into junk food. How rediculous can they be?

There have been occasional outbreaks of salmonella, forever, but that is no reason to kill the food value of all of our food. People should just be more careful and they should inspect all food packaging and food suppliers and make sure they are living up to the top standards of food handling, if they do not then they will be closed up and anyone caught being paid off to pass things through should have the most severe penalty, because it could affect many lives and cause death.

They are talking of using X-rays instead of the gamma rays, but what's the difference? Even if they do not have the same nutritional destroying effect as gamma rays, does not mean there is no danger in using it. Why do they use lead lined vests when they take x-rays of you in the hospital or the dentist office?
Are they worried about getting sick on salmonella and maybe a few people will die from contaminated foods, but what will happen to everyone that eats all this dead food? Which is exactly what will happen to this food that is zapped.

Our food will be free from salmonella but it will be dead. What nourishment will we get from this? Do we take a handful of vitamins with our meals to replenish our lost food value? At least we do have the organic farmers still producing good healthy foods, and if they can do it then why can't everyone else? What is going on with these people who are always trying to do something with our food or they have to change it in some way? Do they benefit from all these chemicals and zapping and altering?

We should have a say in whether or not they genetically change, zap or add chemicals to our food supply. Hopefully we will have a rise in organic farmers and people will have a choice, like me, I am already allergic to all of the chemicals that they have infested our foods with. I don't know what will happen if they zap our food with something now too.

vitamin D and healthy bones

Eat for the health of it.

Are you one of those that slathers the sunscreen on everytime you go outside in the sunshine? Did you ever think you could be causing more harm than good? I am not saying you shouldn't use sunscreen but I would use it sparingly. I know it is supposed to protect you but there is evidence for just the opposite; that sunshine is partially to blame for skin cancer.

It is believed that sunscreens blocks the skin from producing the pigment melanin, which prevents your body from it's natural defense against the sunlight which is, A TAN. A nice tan is healthy for you. Sunscreen also blocks one of the most important vitamins; vitamin D, that is essential to our system, keeping our bones from breaking. We have an epidemic of vitamin D deficient diseases.

You have been told not to lie in the sun; stay indoors during the heat of the day. Slather up with sunscreen, wear long sleeves and sunglasses. If this is true then why is there evidence that the sunlight actually prevents 17 different kinds of cancer. God gave us a natural healer.

Now that people are afraid to go in the sun, they are vitamin D deficient, causing bone loss, and how many people do you know that never go out in the sunshine and yet they have skin cancer? I know people that are very depressed when the sun doesn't shine and I would guess that most people have some depression on gloomy days. I love to be outside and mostly on sunny days.

You need vitamin D, you get it from the sun, pay attention on the next gloomy day, see how you feel, then see how you feel on a sunny day. Most people are paranoid from all the commercials about staying out of the sun. Do you know that skin cancer was very rare before the 1930's and most people back then worked outside?

If you give it a thought, the sun is five billion years old and why all of a sudden it is causing skin cancer? Why is it that people that live in the cold, damp climate areas, with little sunshine, like Minnesota and London, have a higher death rate from skin cancer then the sunshine states like Florida, New Mexico and Arizona?

Fructose takes the wrap

Eat for the health of it.

Every time I see where they have done another study using animals, I always think of the cartoon I saw in a doctors office where these rats were all, either dying or they were already dead, and there were watermelon rinds laying all around them. The caption was: Rats die from eating watermelon. Do you see the picture? The rats did not get the nourishment they needed to live and the watermelon did not supply the nutrients they needed.

I know they should not use a human to do a study on whether we can tolerate the chemicals they put in our food, but that is exactly what they are doing to us by adding chemicals to our food supply like, Aspartame, MSG, HFCS, Acelfame K, etc. They are using us as guinea pigs. And even though they do see what harm these chemicals heve done, they just continue to use them and they keep adding more instead of taking them off the market.

I am thoroughly disgusted that they have not taken HFCS out of soft drinks, juice, and other beverages that are aimed at our growing children. Do they want all of our children to grow up and be sick? At the rate they drink these juices and all the products that kids eat a lot of, like catsup, candies, cookies, even bread. It is in almost everything.

A concerned chiropractor observed some children and was concerned that these children's bodies were mush, resulting from the modern day diet of junk food. I agree with this because everything has HFCS in it. I am still sticking up for Fructose, that is Fructose alone, not High Fructose Corn Syrup. Now the way I understand it is the Fructose that is just fruit squeezins and that is made into a sugar like substance, which was alright to eat and then they took it to another processing plant and added another okay product (Corn Syrup) which they squeeze from the corn, but then they added another ingredient, a chemical, and that ruined it.

I have eaten corn syrup all my life and I still do. I ate Fructose for years too, without any side effects, but when I began to eat HFCS, I broke out under my arms, breasts and groin area. It took 4 months for me to figure out just what I was allergic to. They kept saying that HFCS was just corn syrup and fructose, but as I wrote everything down and the ingredients in that product, I kept seeing HFCS. When I eliminated it from my diet, I cleared up.

It is hard to stay away from these chemicals, because they put them into everything that used sugar. I praise any food company that can say no to this kind of sabotage on our food supply. I have to check every label. Read every ingredient to make sure there is none of these chemicals in the food I eat. I worry about the babies and small children growing up. If they get to grow up, with these chemicals in our food that can cause cancer, damage liver, pancreas, stomach or heart.
